Loving these customer projects - big thanks to Lyn for being our delivery driver - the Sunday ladies and Morgan Quilting and Craft group have been busy making toiletry bags and a few quilts for Backpacks_4_sa_kids

Lyn has bought in a small selection of quilts that she has made - many of the donated fabrics that you lovely people leave at the shop make their way to these charity quilts.

I had a fun weekend called in on an amazing quilting friend who has an incredible array of projects; thoughts and challenges in her life but still managed to give me her time and we worked on a small project - a scissor keep with ‘goat’ stitch better known as glove stitch. Also had a look at an amazing photo book from the SA quilters on the go recent trip to Hamilton and Missouri Star Quilt Company.

Janet has recently returned from Canada and was telling us about the quilt shops that she visited and I was lucky enough to be spoilt with some gifts - thank you.

We have 1 more spot free in Christine Lethleans Landscape workshop August 8th & 9th. Let me know if your interested.

A lot of local shops as well as Interstate shops coming to Adelaide all under one roof - retail therapy heaven.

So Im looking forward and did you know Christmas is 167 days away - less than 6 months - who else feels the years are simply flying by.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS The majority of shop stock is ok - its just been an eventful week and this topped it off - having a well deserved break this weekend

Hasn’t the wet weather been amazing - we’re having a cold wet winter - that hasn’t happened for a while in Waikerie.

The down side of that is the rain decided to come inside the shop and most of the quilts in the front window display, fat quarter bundles in the drawers and a few trays of embroidery threads and embroidery wool got wet.

Unfortunately I think all of the donated books for the book library also got wet - I will check the final damage in the morning.

Tomorrow morning you may still find ‘stuff’ everywhere while I try to dry out furniture and the floor and work out what I’m going to do with the wet skeins and books.

On the bright side the cabinets are now a little bit cleaner 😉

Opening Hours are
Thursday 5:30-7:00pm
Friday 10:30am-3:30pm

*****TWO PLACES LEFT - please message me if interested **************************

UPCOMING 2 DAY WORKSHOP

The amazing Christine Lethlean is coming back with her ‘A Textile Landscape’ workshop

A landscape is more than a place, it is an experience of light, colour, texture,
memory and emotion.

This workshop invites participants to slow down; observe the landscape they
have chosen with fresh eyes and discover ways of expressing what resonates personally through textiles and stitch. Rather than reproducing a scene exactly as it appears, participants will be encouraged to interpret what they see, creating an artwork that reflects their own observations and imagination.

Working in a supportive and encouraging environment, participants will explore composition, perspective, colour, texture and layering while learning practical textile techniques through demonstrations, mini tutorials and individual mentoring. Every participant is encouraged to follow their own creative path, ensuring that each finished landscape is as individual as the person who created it

This will be held over two days at Waikerie August 8th and 9th 2026 10am-4pm

Cost for BOTH two days will be between $100-120 with some supplies available at an extra cost - requirements list will be emailed once all is confirmed.

Sewing Machine with a darning foot is required for this workshop.

Please message or email me if interested - spaces are limited

Thanks
Nay
